Cannabis prohibition is a tool used by the devil to separate people from utilizing the communication system, which Christ Jesus taught about, known as the "spirit of truth." It's available to those who love one another, and we cannot love someone and cage or punish them for using what God says is good on the very first page of the Bible. Cannabis prohibition was predicted ahead of time in 1 Timothy 4:1-5, where it also describes who will be doing the dirty deed as those who "will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons." In that same passage is the only Biblical restriction to using cannabis: to use it with thankfulness. People and groups who wish to follow the teachings of Christ Jesus should not support or enable the devil's law or influence others to do so. Further, it's luciferous to associate legalizing the God-given plant cannabis with prostitution. - -- Stan White Dillon, Colorado - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
